It will be noted that the l-lendles1 17 stand parallel to the producer oret right engies to' p the dem ers, and hence occupy but little 1 dition, aethe ends of theveilves serve to close the hollow almeno extr'e iids or covers areneeessaryf L By tsithf 1. A gas-producer `having in its body two spaced-apart rng-like plates forming an air space or chamber openin at its linner side into the producer, in combination with a central air-distributor, and means connecting the latter with said chamber, whereby air will be supplied to the 'produ cer at the center thereof and also at the side, said chamber o ening into the producer about in line with t 1e lowermost outlet from the distributer.

2. In a gas-producer, a central air-distributer having a depending portion, an airsu ply space orchamber opcnin g at its inner si e into the producer at the side thereof, means r,connected With said depending portion for supplying air to the distributor, and hollovv arms connecting said depending portion to said air Space or chamber, for supply- 'ing'air to the latter, the air therefrom entering the producer about in line with the loWermost outlet fom the distributor.

3. A asi-producer having a horizontallydispose ring-like plate, the ash-ho per deending therefrom, an upper ring-li Ye plate, ugs spacing said plates apart, a central airdistributer, hollow arms leading from the latter and communicating with the space between said upper and lower plates at points near the side of the producer, and meanslfor controlling such communication, as set forth. d

4. The combination with the producer havin the continuous horizontal ,air-space, and t 1e air-supply arms or conduits opening thereinto at or near their outer ends, of the cylindrical dempers fitted in and closing the ends of said arms., and having cut-outs for coinciding with the openings into said airs ace.

5. The combination with the producer having the continuous horizontal air-space, and the air-supply arms or conduits opening thereinto at or near their outer ends, of the cylindrical dempers fitted in and closing the ends of said arms, and having cut-outs for coinciding with the openings into said airspace, and handles for said dempers at right angles thereto.

6. The combination with the producer having the continuous horizontal air-space,

and the ainsupply arms or conduits opening' thereinto at or neer their outer ends, of the cylindrical dempers fitted in said arms open at their inner ends and closed at their outer ends, said dampers having cutfouts in their sides for coinciding with the openings into said air-space.
